Zhou Shu plans to hand over this spiritual stone mine to Xu Lie. Xu Lie is well-informed and must have a good way to deal with it.

It's impossible to mine it yourself. I don't have the time or energy to report it to the sect. I just discovered the secret realm and it's a spiritual stone mine. This is a bit eye-catching. I can't say it was dug out again.

After going around in a circle, it was similar to what Zhou Shu had thought before. There was another entrance to the Lingshi Mine, but this entrance had long been completely sealed and it was impossible to get in or out.

Zhou Shu still went out the same way and returned to the pit.

He took out the Sinking Iron Hoe, dug out a lot of earth and rocks, covered the entrance of the cave, and buried the thick stone pillar deep into the ground.

After making enough cover, Zhou Shu climbed up and left the pit.

Looking around, there were no other stone pillars around, and there was probably only one mechanism here. Zhou Shu didn't look too much, guessing that the wind-inducing snake on the red banyan tree had gone dormant, so he carefully followed the original path back.

If it were other people, they might have taken out the jade slips to record, but Zhou Shu had no need to do so. He kept everything firmly in his mind and could just take it out when needed.

Not long after, they emerged from the dense forest and continued towards the Valley of Evil Spirits.

In front of him was a vast grassland, with many monsters running around in it. Zhou Shu would not stop, and used the Shadow Escape Technique from time to time to dodge, leaving the monsters far behind.

Across the grassland, there is a huge mountain in front of you, reaching into the sky and into the clouds, stretching endlessly.

As you turn around the mountain, you can hear the splashing sound of the rapids, like the roar of thunder, which can be heard for hundreds of miles.

“What a majestic waterfall!”

Zhou Shu was shocked.

A white thread measuring dozens of feet thick seems to have fallen from the sky, hanging from the top of a thousand-foot-high peak. It really has the momentum of "flying down three thousand feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen from the sky."

In the center of the waterfall, there happens to be a protruding rock. The water flows from top to bottom, hitting the rock heavily, turning into countless raindrops, and falling down one after another. Within tens of miles, it becomes a rain country, and the water

The fog is thick and the pearls are splashing everywhere.

The misty rain and mist make the waterfall even more magical in its majestic momentum.

Zhou Shu walked a few miles without using his spiritual power to resist the rain and fog, and his clothes were instantly soaked.

Feeling the water droplets falling like a torrential rain sliding past him, he thought thoughtfully. If he practiced the Rapid Rain Sword Technique here, it might be of great benefit to understanding the sword's meaning.

Thinking of this, he stopped moving and kept thinking in his heart.

Regarding the meaning of the sword, the teachers and uncles who taught the class have talked a lot about it, and the sect's classics have introduced it even more. However, it is difficult to explain clearly what it is.

As we all know, sword intention is a special realm that distinguishes sword cultivators from other cultivators.

It is the extension of the sword, the original meaning of the sword, the destination of the sword, and the manifestation of sword cultivation entering the Tao. It belongs only to sword cultivation and can only be understood by oneself and cannot be taught by others.

There are many different realms of sword intention, from the initial understanding of the sword intention, to the transformation of the sword intention, the heart turning with the sword, the reincarnation of the sword intention, the thought of heaven and earth, etc.

Sword Intent has great benefits. A sword cultivator who has comprehended Sword Intent, even if he has just comprehended Sword Intent, is obviously more powerful when using the Sword Art at the same level. As the level of Sword Intent increases, the strength of the sword cultivator increases.

It will also become stronger and stronger, and it is not difficult to challenge higher levels. Many practitioners are obsessed with sword cultivation because of this.

Sword cultivators all know this, and Zhou Shu naturally understands it too.

But the sword intention is not so easy to understand, and most sword practitioners practice hard for a lifetime, but they may not succeed.

Zhou Shu himself gradually developed some opinions of his own through constant deductions over the past year, analysis of many classics, and recent back-and-forth use.

In his opinion, sword intention is the origin and the ultimate of sword art.

The great masters of ancient times wielded swords, and wielded their swords with various sword intentions, which could turn mountains and seas, and their power was boundless. However, if later generations looked at the sword intentions alone, they could only observe its appearance, and they really could not understand the essence, and there was no way to learn from it.

If you can, you can integrate the sword intention into the sword tactics, allowing those who come after you to understand the sword intention and the origin of the sword from various sword tactics.

Sword tactics and sword intent are inseparable.

However, many sword cultivators pursue artistic conception too much and focus on wielding the sword with their mind. They advocate using the sword with your heart and not being restricted to the specific form of the sword formula. They think that this will make it easier to understand the meaning of the sword. However, in this way, they have failed to live up to the spirit of creating the sword formula.

The good intentions of the practitioners.

Of course, there must be sword masters who are born with the sword and can realize the sword's intention by themselves just by relying on their mind.

But a novice like Zhou Shu, who is not a genius, cannot do this. But in his opinion, as long as he practices repeatedly and perfects the sword technique in all aspects, including environment, mood, proficiency, etc., it stands to reason that

You can understand the sword intention from it and look at the problem objectively. It is said that practice makes perfect, and a drop of water can penetrate a stone. Even the most mysterious sword intention is the same.

What's more, this sword technique was deduced by him repeatedly, and the original mistakes and omissions have been corrected, and it should be closer to the original intention.

In front of you is a torrential rain that will never stop, which vaguely coincides with the Rapid Rain Sword Art. It is an excellent place to practice the sword art.

Just as he was told, Zhou Shu took out the Cloud-Chasing Sword and continued to use the sword technique in the heavy rain under the waterfall.

The sword light is like rain, endless. If you look carefully, every sword light in Zhou Shu's hand has a shimmering drop of water on the top.

Every time he struck out with his sword, it struck the falling water drops, forming a string of them, feeling the true meaning in the rain.

He seems to be integrated with the environment, like a waterfall and a sword like rain.

Rest when you are tired, and continue when you are well rested. The sword never leaves your hand, and your body never leaves the rain.

It was bright and dark, then dark and bright again. I don’t know how long it took. Zhou Shu finally put away his sword and stood up. A glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, as if he had gained something.

At this time, he had a deeper understanding of the Rapid Rain Sword Technique. Although he was far from understanding the meaning of the sword, he should be heading in the right direction. As long as he persevered, he would definitely gain something.

Understanding the meaning of the sword is also a matter of course.

He was very satisfied.

After leaving the waterfall, Zhou Shu continued to move forward.

I wasted a lot of time here, but it was definitely worth it. After all, this is a rare opportunity. As for the task, there is no set deadline, and you don't have to worry about time.

Going deeper into the mountain, there are peaks of different heights everywhere. In front of a peak that resembles a bun, Zhou Shu found the location of the mission.

It was an extremely narrow valley, and the entrance was heavily covered by many vines. It was difficult to find it. If it weren't for the evil energy coming from inside from time to time, no cultivators would have noticed.

Zhou Shu stopped, not in a hurry to go in, but observing carefully from outside.

After watching it for about two days, he analyzed some patterns.

The evil spirit here is sometimes strong and sometimes light. About every five hours, the evil spirit will become a little thicker, and then gradually dissipate, approaching nothing.

It seems that if there is a evil beast inside, it will probably come out every five hours to look for food or other things, and hide in the nest at other times.

Many evil beasts conform to this habit, and most of them are very difficult to deal with.
